One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At age 32, and without a high school diploma, I began college, while raising 3 kids basically alone. I graduated 6 years later at the top of my class with a Masters degree… AND all 3 kids are now thriving adults who graduated high school and went on to college… booyah!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to tell people all about my home state, I love to learn new cultures and try new foods, I love sharing my home and love of the Pacific Northwest!
